Chapter 24

Facing the anger of hundreds of the Beggar Sect members, Li Wucheng remained unperturbed, strolling out and coldly laughed, "What, without a leader, the Beggar Sect has become even more domineering? Could it be that you think you can control my Cold Blood's mouth?"

At this moment, Li Wucheng stepped forward to provoke the Beggar Sect, leaving Duan Yu, who was being affectionate with Wang Yuyan, somewhat puzzled, his face showing suspicion as he muttered, "What is Second Brother trying to do?"

Xu Changxiao bowed to Li Wucheng, suppressing his dissatisfaction, and said, "What does young master want to say? I, Xu Changxiao, am all ears."

"What do I want to say?"

Li Wucheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, his face showing a half-smile, and said, "To be honest, the affairs of your Beggar Sect have nothing to do with me. I would only genuinely congratulate my elder brother Qiao Feng for leaving the Beggar Sect. However, there are some words I can't help but say."

Indeed, he couldn't help but say it. Having witnessed the entire scene in the apricot grove, Li Wucheng felt even more stifled and depressed. Even if it meant offending the entire Beggar Sect, he had to speak his mind.

Of course, this was also because Li Wucheng was not from this world and would eventually leave, which is why he dared to do so. If it were someone else, they would really have to consider whether to offend the Beggar Sect.

Li Wucheng said sarcastically, "My elder brother Qiao Feng's Khitan identity might not be false, but throughout the entire process, I saw nothing but conspiracy and selfishness."

Elder Song asked, "Conspiracy and selfishness, what do you mean?"

Li Wucheng's piercing gaze swept over the faces of the Beggar Sect elders, as well as Quan Guanqing, Kang Min, Tan Gong, and Tan Po. He said, "Selfishness is obvious. Some people couldn't stand Qiao Feng's high position as the leader, so they killed Ma Dachuan, obtained Wang Jianrong's letter, and forced Qiao Feng to step down. Others, driven by their own lust for power, were willing to take the lead, inciting the Beggar Sect disciples to gather evidence and expose Qiao Feng's background."

Li Wucheng's decisive words were like a bolt of lightning, shocking the apricot grove. The Beggar Sect members, though finding it hard to believe, couldn't help but think there was some truth to his words.

Duan Yu was even more stunned, suddenly realizing, "Yes, why didn't I think of it? It must be that someone is framing my elder brother. Second Brother is truly remarkable, to see through this."

Wang Yuyan and the other two women also showed surprise, deeply feeling that his words might be true.

Some believed, some were angry. Xu Changxiao, furious, said, "You are talking nonsense. I, Xu Changxiao, act with integrity. How could I have such a petty mind?"

Li Wucheng gave Xu Changxiao a cold look and said indifferently, "Whether you have selfish intentions, you know yourself. Why do you need to take it personally?"

Turning to face Kang Min, Li Wucheng said coldly, "Kang Min, you think your actions are flawless, and with Quan Guanqing and Bai Shijin's help, you believe this matter is airtight?"

His voice suddenly turned harsh, and he continued, "A mere woman, yet with a heart as venomous as a scorpion. If I don't kill you today, you will surely bring disaster in the future."

Kang Min, her composure lost, denied, "No, I didn't."

She then turned to Quan Guanqing for help, saying, "Chief Quan, this is an internal matter of the Beggar Sect. Why should outsiders interfere? As the first and greatest sect in the world, will the Beggar Sect stand by and let this widow be bullied?"

Kang Min's words were filled with sorrow, making it hard for anyone to remain unmoved. Quan Guanqing, with his own secrets, naturally couldn't ignore Kang Min.

Thus, Quan Guanqing sternly said to Li Wucheng, "Young Master Cold, if you have any grievances with the Beggar Sect, I, Quan Guanqing, am here to listen. Mrs. Ma is the widow of the deceased Deputy Leader Ma. I will not allow you to bully her."

Li Wucheng chuckled, sarcastically saying, "If you put it that way, I am bullying Kang Min, and you are serving her."

Quan Guanqing's expression changed dramatically, but Li Wucheng continued, "Quan Guanqing, I won't kill you today. I'll leave you to continue harming the Beggar Sect. In the future, if I am displeased, I will definitely take your life."

Until now, Li Wucheng had never killed anyone, but if it were someone like Quan Guanqing, he wouldn't hesitate to do so.

Quan Guanqing's martial arts were not weak. In "Demigods and Half-Devils," it is said that he was not inferior to the Beggar Sect elders. However, Li Wucheng believed that even if Quan Guanqing had that level of strength, his actual combat effectiveness might not be more than half.

"Your boasting is shameless. If it weren't for the wrong time today, I wouldn't let you leave this apricot grove."

No matter how composed and patient Quan Guanqing was, he couldn't help but be furious at this point.

Li Wucheng sneered, indifferent, and said, "Or, you can try."

In the apricot grove, there were many skilled experts of the Beggar Sect, and the members were numerous. If Li Wucheng faced them all, he would certainly not be a match. However, he was prepared to escape.

After all, Li Wucheng didn't care about his reputation. Running away when he couldn't fight wasn't a shameful thing. Moreover, facing so many Beggar Sect members, even if he had to flee, it wouldn't be embarrassing.

"You..."

Quan Guanqing found himself in a rather awkward situation.

Xu Changxiao timely said, "Young Master Cold, what is your true intention? What you just said is merely your personal speculation and cannot be taken as fact."

Li Wucheng loudly said, "Who says it cannot be taken as fact? What I just said is the truth of the entire matter. I mentioned three of the four key figures involved, and the last one is Bai Shijin."

"The reputation of Elder Bai Shijin for being fair and impartial is well-known, but I never expected that meeting him would be a disappointment. He has done unrighteous deeds and dares not admit them. When his brother was falsely accused, he did not stand up for him. Such actions are unworthy of being an enforcement elder of the Beggar Sect, and even more unworthy of being a person."

Staring intently at Bai Shijin, Li Wucheng said solemnly, "Today's cause, tomorrow's effect. One day, you will die by the throat lock technique."

"Ridiculous! How can you insult the enforcement elder of the Beggar Sect? Men, seize him!"

Xu Changxiao, after enduring it for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and angrily swept his sleeve.

Before his words were finished, a sharp and unpleasant voice came from the northwest corner, saying, "The Beggar Sect was supposed to meet at Huishan but broke the appointment. It turns out you were all hiding here secretly. Hahaha, how laughable."

The voice was sharp and grating, with poor pronunciation, sounding like a lisp or a stuffy nose, making it extremely uncomfortable to hear.

The leaders of the Great Righteousness and Great Courage branches, Jiang and Fang, both exclaimed, "Elder Xu, we missed the appointment, and now our enemies are coming!"

Li Wucheng sneered, "Xu Changxiao, I will take my leave today. Rest assured, I will watch the Beggar Sect decline bit by bit."

The people from the Western Xia's First-Class Hall had arrived. Li Wucheng needed to retreat quickly, not because he was afraid of them, but because the First-Class Hall's Bisu Qingfeng was extremely powerful, and he had no way to resist it.

"Third Brother, I will go first. You must be careful."

He bowed to Duan Yu from a distance and did not linger, rushing out of the grove.
